Relations keep breaking and patching in soccer world and we have a perfect example how optimistic football fraternity is. Kenny Dalglish, who was fired by Liverpool owner John W Henry after he could not take them beyond eighth place in the premier league, has been called back on broad of directors to improve their stand in upcoming seasons. This comes to be a surprise for everyone, especially looking at their bitter relations after the unexpected sacking. Anyways, the news of their patch-up came last week and everyone at Anfield was since preparing his grand welcome after a gap of eighteen months. Actually, Henry understands what he needs at this time to achieve his long term goals; hence he accepted his mistake and called his former manager back in the team to offer his age old experience for their overall progress. Though, his current role is of non-executive director, which means he would not interfere directly in day to day affairs of the team, yet he will be a part of club’s long term strategies which is enough for Scott to prove his worth for the league club.
The America businessman told how optimistic he is keeping Dalglish in his management team, he said, “I am delighted to welcome Kenny Dalglish back to Anfield. Kenny is a towering figure in the history of Liverpool Football Club. Along with Bill Shankly, he embodies what the club stands for. As a player and a manager, Kenny established his position as a football great. But that is only half the story. His compassion and leadership in the immediate aftermath of Hillsborough brought great solace to the families of the 96.
“His support of the campaign for justice since 1989 has been unfailing and inspirational and has given him a status that goes far beyond that of a mere sporting figure. However, the return of Kenny Dalglish is not about the past. We are building for the future. From the dressing room to the boardroom, we are creating a structure that will take Liverpool back to the top. It is not an easy task. Kenny brings the sort of intelligence, experience and knowledge that will help us reach our goals.
“Tom, Ian, Brendan and I along with every single Liverpool supporter, staff member and player want to welcome back Kenny with the same warmth and depth of feeling that he has shown for his club over these decades.”
So, only time will tell how long their newly patch up relation will go, but we expect Liverpool to come back where they were in the nineties…
